sometimes snakes get scared.

a scared snake may let you know that it is prepared to bite you if you come any closer.

like all other animals, snakes will fight back and defend themselves from big scary things.

you are a big scary thing to a snake. you are more than 100 times bigger than a snake.

if a giant 500 feet tall stood over you, you would see what a snake sees.

you would be afraid that you would get stepped on. you might even be afraid that you would get eaten.

now you understand how a snake feels.
